people can thumbs down me all they want but i feel that any grown adult should be allowed to make thier own choices it dont matter if it’s weed,coke,pcp or whatever and having said that i also feel that they also need to be responsible for thier own actions as well.to me who do are law makers think they are to tell us what we can and cant do with our own bodies?btw alcohol is a drug that many people consume daily and has caused more broken homes,ruined lives and deaths than we can shake a stick at but yet anyone of age can walk in the store and buy it.does it really make people feel better if they loose a loved one in a car wreck if the driver were just drunk instead of that driver being hi? the action of the offender is just as bad and the loved one is just as dead. the problem is not the drug of choice it is the action of the user and they should be held accountable

It’s not really so great a law for we smokers. See they slipped this DWI law in with it so that basically if you smoke, you better not drive. At all. Even sober. The amounts of THC in your blood that they need to convict you is there like a week after smoking one f%#&ing joint.

Santonio, you failed the drug test. They found pot in your system.

Yeah, but I smoked it in Colorado. Rocky Mountain High!

Firstly, alcohol kills more Americans EVERY YEAR than the entire ww2.
____________________________
What? 400,000 Americans were killed. 50,000 at the most will die from alcohol. Plus this site is about football. You’re wrong and not even posting about football.

To all the people that have a serious HATE on for pot, I have a couple FACTS to ponder.
Firstly, alcohol kills more Americans EVERY YEAR than the entire ww2.
Secondly, cigarettes will kill 440,000 Americans this year as well as 50,000 non smokers via second hand smoke.

Marijuana will kill zero, 0, nada, not even 1 person world wide. Marijuana is not a drug that can be overdosed on. It just doesn’t have the capability to cause enough harm.

Do u watch cops? How many domestic disputes do you see where some guy gets high and beats his wife or kids?None. Alcohol is the worst drug in America. Alcohol will kill 75,000 Americans this year. As well as shorten the life expectancy by up to 30 years.

To say that pot makes people lazy is an absolutely false statement.
If a person is lazy to begin with he or she will be lazy when high. If a person is a go getter, they tend to be that same after smoking. Pot doesn’t change who a person is. The same cannot be said for alcohol. Look and any drunk person when they are drunk vs sober. No comparison.

DONT JUST LISTEN TO THE BLA BLA FROM THE 70′s when marijuana laws were stiffened. In the 70′s the president of the USA needed to get all these hippies off the street because the were a thorn in his political war in Vietnam. Interestingly enough the time those laws were passed so were the privatizing of prisons turning them into businesses producing products that were sold after being produced by slave labor in the prisons.

Cmon man!!!

Why don’t we fire all government people and start back at step 1?

I love it. I know the whackos voted for it. Now, our federal govt sued tobacco companies for costs related to lung cancer and other things. BUT, they still allow the tobacco companies to sell product, per their “settlement”. Govt looks good, covers their butt and gets over a billion dollars, and they are complicit with the tobacco companies in the continued sale of the dreaded product.

Now, 2 states are voting in more rights to destroy your lungs and get lung cancer. Not to mention other problems. Libtards will then want to go after those who legally sold marijuana. What will it be this time?

Ironically the nfl policy allows them to smoke those bath salts which sends guys into hallucinogenic fits of rage and munchies strong enough to prompt a DB to eat the face of a WR

Yeah, good policy Roger

waste money and resources on law enforcement and jails to police a criminal underworld supplying pot in a helpless attempt at prohibition, or legalize and tax it as is done with alcohol… Haven’t smoked it in decades and don’t plan to, but voted for the legalization in WA, and assume that most of the majority that passed it also won’t be becoming pot-heads either.

@briang. So Shawn Andrews and Ricky Williams unfulfilled potential because of weed? My guess is they both smoked waayy before they reached the elite status of an NFL player. but you assume since Phelps Won ridiculous gold medals that the picture taken of him was the first time he smoked?? Naive. Plenty of people are successes or failures without the addition of weed. How many people miss work,aka don’t realize potential because of alcohol and hangovers. really why is it your concern that people “live to their max potential”. If that’s the case everyone should be given doses of meth because it makes you work like 5 men. Everything in moderation my son.

Marijuana is a very effective medicine. Its is effective in aiding very sick people in many many ways.
Its sad how many people just listen to what they are told and believe all the stereotypes about the plant. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND FIND THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELF.
If any one on this site knows anyone on chemotherapy they would know that 2 MAJOR side effects are zero appetite and the inability to get a good sleep. Mary Jane is a natural way to aid in both.
Either way, I live in Canada and its legal here. It’s fantastic for both medicinally as well as culturally. I feel bad for sheeple who will go through life without experiencing the benefits.
BTW alcohol is quite possibly the worst product sold in stores. It ruins lifes every single day.

I definetly got to go watch a game a Mile High Stadium. Just think of all the extra munchies revenue they will produce. Maybe they can even open up a special coffee shop at the stadium Amsterdam style and rake it in. Just think of the April 20th fan appreciation day.

“On Tuesday, enough voters in Colorado and Washington showed up and cast ballots to legalize marijuana in both states (so much for pot making you lazy)”

“SO MUCH FOR POT MAKING YOU LAZY”

While I favor legalizing ALL drugs to get rid of the cartel violence, I favor it only if there is also a law passed saying that the drug moron’s family cannot sue ANYONE when their poor moronic idiot dies or gets a DWI, or kills someone. But until it is legal in all states the NFL has to treat it as illegal everywhere. Or the CBA is worthless. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT. A Union thing. If the Union doesn’t make things equal for all workers in the union, then it is not a Union. It is a criminal organization.

Federal prohibition of marijuana is based in the interstate commerce clause. There is no federal criminal prohibition against marijuana use. It’s possesion is criminal under the tax code. That’s why federal charges always involve trafficking. The Feds aren’t coming after anyone for getting high, and they won’t send DEA out to bust somebody holding a couple blunts except to make a snitch. You need to be holding pounds to get federal interest. This is a question Obama will need to deal with rather quickly, and if his approach toward medical marijuana is an indicator, he’s going to sit back and let the states try to manage the situation. This is a case where he can benefits from letting the state lead. DEA will respond to requests from state and local, but they won’t be proactive in these states.

I looked this up when Arizona approved it’s medical marijuana two years ago. It would be legal drug if a player was a patient and state law further states that you cannot be terminated for a positive THC metabolite test.
The NCAA can arbitrarily add items which I am sure they will such as sudafed and others. I wonder how the NCAA will claim it is a performance enhancer though.

With the NFL being a national organization, the intestate traffic laws would make this a non-issue.
